lot of siding which was piled IN the pavilion,
and renewed their demands for admission, at
the same time calling Mr.. Hill vile names,
shouting, singing, swearing and disappearing
by pretending 10 offer prayer. They then
tried TO effect an entrance into the east door
of the hotel, but failed. One of the assault
ing party succeeded in bursting open the
south door, which Mr.. Hill relocked while
the party who burst it open was notifying
his companions of his success. They after
ward divided their forces and broke open
both doors simultaneously and entered the
house from both ways. Mr. Hill was stand
ing at the head of the stairs with gun IN.
his hand and warned them to leave the
premises or take the consequences AS the
party or a portion of IL assembled the stairs,
Mr. Hill struck the first one, Quackenbush,
on the head with the muzzle OF the gun, in
flicting scalp wound that bled freely.
Hebron then went up stairs and assured Hill
that if he would come down stairs and give
the boys some cigars, he should not be in
jured. Hill put away his gun, went down
stairs and gave his assailants half box of
cigars, requesting them to vacate his prem
ises. Immediately afterward, he was assaulted
by Quackenbush and terribly beaten over the
head and face, and his left leg bruised and
injured so that it was swollen TO twice Its
natural size, and he was afterward obliged to
use both a cane and crutch TO enable him
to get around. Whether he was kicked or
not, he was unable to say. During the time
he was being beaten, he was crowded into a
corner where escape was impossible. He
implored some of the party to assist him.
They gathered around and finally interfered
and took Quackenbush away. After singing
a parting hymn, they lett the premises.
Besides being badly bruised, Mr.. Hill was
cut under one eye and had one of his teeth
knocked entirely out. The witnesses testi-
fed to repeated threats TO kill Mr.. Hill,
coupling such threats with vile names and
epithets The assailants threatened to pros
ecute Hill for shooting-although no shoot
ing was done-saying they would "carry it
up" and after holding q consultation, pre-
pared a paper, which they compelled Mr..
Hill to sign, threatening to kill him If he
refused. The substance of the paper as read
to Hill was, "This is a settlement between
you and u.s." Hill did not read the paper
himself. Soon after this the invaders left
the premises.
At the close of the examination of the
three witnesses above mentioned, the hear
ing was adjourned until to-day. Cohn of
Decatur, and Convey OF Gobleville, were dis
charged from custody, the evidence not
warranting their being held for further ex-
animation. The recogniZances of Lett,
Bradley and Merrill were continued, Hebron
and Long gave new bonds in the sum of
$500 each, while the bail required of Quack-
enbush was raised To the sum of 81, 800,
which was not furnished. and be was COM
mitted to the custody of the sheriff.

An Extraordinary Yield of Clover
 Seed.

It is not often that the weather is altogether suitable to the perfec- ton of large yields of clovcr-seed dry weather being particularly favorable farmers generally being content with a turnout of from two to two and half bushels 10 the acre. But we see it stated in the Farmers Home Journal that Mir. Evan Lewis, of Worthwhile, La Sale county, Ill.,, harvested the present year from seventeen acres l36 bushels, being an average of eight bushels to the acre. The seed, when cleaned, was bright ard beautiful, and sold readily at wholesale for $4.l0 per bushel, bringing the handsome sum of $557 60 for the whole lot. The above is the largest yield of clover seed per acre we ever heard Of, and would more than pay for the land at s32 80 per acre.

 /. FATAL MISTAKE.

of February 23d, 1883, pub lished an account of a fatal surgical operation which caused a great commotion among med :.cal men throughout the whole country, Dr. Thayer, the most "aiincnt surgeon in Cleveland, oronouncing it scandalous. It appears that a Mrs. King had 53cn suffering for many years from some disease of thc stom-
 ch, w,..ch had resisted the
 rcatment of all the physicians il attendance. The disease commenced with a slight de- engagement of the digestion, with poor appetite, followed by q peculiar indescribablc dis tl2ss in the stomach, feeling that has been described as a faint ";,ll gone" sensation, n sticky slime collecting about tle teeth, causing a disagree able taste. This sensation was rot removed by food, but, on tle contrary, it was increased. After a while the hands and feet became cold and sticky a cold precipitation. There was constant tired and lan- guid feeling. Then followed a dreadful nervousness, with gloomy forcbodings. Finally the patient was unable to re- tain any food whatever, and there was coaRtant pain in the abdomen. All prescribed rem edies failing to g,ve relief, a consultation was he'd, when 1t was decided that the patient had cancer in the stomach, and in order tosave the patients life an operation was justif- able. Accordingly, on the 22d of February, 1855, the opera ton was performed by Dr. Vance in the presence of Dr. Tuckerman, Dr. Perrier, Dr. Arms, Dr. Gordon, Dr. Capner, and Dr. Halliwcll 0. the Police Board. The operation consist ed in laying open the cavity of the abdomen and exposing the stomach and bowels. When this had been done an cxamin- ation of the organs was made, but to tnc horror and dismay of the doctors there was no cancer to be found. The pa tient did Eot have a cancer. When too late the medical men discovered that they had made a terrible mistake; but they sewed the parts together and dressed the wound that they had made, but the poor woman sank from exhaustion and died in a few hours. How sad it must be for the husband of this poor woman to know that his wife d. | from the effects of q surgical operation that ought never to have been performed. If this woman had taken the proper remedy for Dyspepsia and Nervous Prostration flor this was what the disease really was), shc would have been liv- ing to-day. SmAKEE EXTRACT OF RooTs, or SEIoEL's CURATIVE SYRUP, a remedy made ex- pressly for Dyspepsia or 1ndi- gestion, has restored many such cases to perfect health after all other kinds of treatment have failed.
